More progress. I dropped the cab back on the chassis to ck engine clearance and I have to say the TCI guys nailed it! It fits great and no cutting is needed - assuming it fits with the radiator OK. (there is a metal piece of some kind back there that looks like a round slug just behind the DS fuel rail. Can't figure out what it does other than provide space for the rail from the firewall so it will come off and thats the only thing really close to the firewall)

BTW - I didn't comment on the chassis. It's awesome! It is a work of art, it's beefier than heck, the welds are beautiful, and it will be a great foundation for the truck.

And yes - it's getting surface rust on it, even here in bone dry Colorado. I called the TCI weenies to ask why they didn't put anything join the chassis and they just don't, but recommended I clean, grind/sand and prime it. I called three local sandblasters and talked with them. They all said leave it alone - it's easier to blast surface rust off than primer.

I also started assembling the suspension. Everything fits great!
